  • International Wine Cellar | Rating: 94

    Deep ruby. Explosively perfumed bouquet displays black raspberry, cherry preserves and potpourri. Lush and sweet, with palate-staining dark berry flavors, supple tannins, and an exotic floral pastille quality that emerges with air. Extremely seductive and open-knit, finishing with outstanding power and spicy persistence.

    The 2010 Pinot Noir Three Corner wraps around the palate with intense dark black fruit, menthol, spices and licorice. This is one of the most brooding, structured wines in the lineup. Energy, focus and power are some of the many virtues found in the Three Corner. Layers of fruit continue to build in the glass as the wine fills out over time. This is a dazzling effort from Tom Rochioli. The yields here are just 1-1.5 tons per acre.

    Very rich and deeply concentrated, this extraordinary wine is focused on a dense core of blackberry, with a touch of jam, showing hints of raspberry and wilted rose as well. Firm, tight, concentrated and pleasantly tannic, this has a lot going for it.

With three generations of dedication to the land, Rochioli Vineyards and Winery has earned the reputation as one of Sonoma County's finest. This family legacy began in 1938, when Joe Rochioli Sr. purchased land he had long farmed. He had the foresight to know that the soil of the Russian River Valley would one day produce some of the world's greatest wines. His son Joe Jr. embraced this vision and today craft renowned, terrior-driven wines built on a foundation of superb fruit.

The result has been a decades-long tradition of outstanding vintages: Silky-smooth, fruit-forward Pinot Noirs; rich, opulent Chardonnays; and tangy, food-friendly Sauvignon Blancs.

California is the heartland of wine production in the US, and the state that brought prestige to American wine thanks to the pioneers who built early wineries like Staglin, Beringer, Ridge, Mayacamas and Chateau Montelena in the 1800s. Its large geographic area ensures a great diversity in growing sites, varieties grown, and quality levels. Generalizations about the state's wines have numerous exceptions; however, a few key facts generally hold true—ample sunshine, dry weather during the growing season, and moderate winters prevail. Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon continue to dominate the state's production—albeit in continually smaller percentages, as growers continue to diversify. More than 100 different varieties can be found throughout the state.
